There is more good news in the area of public health. A couple of days ago I posted on the decline of human mortality rates in the tropics. Now the UN agency for HIV/AIDS, UNAIDS, reports that HIV infection rates, especially of the mother-to-child variety, are on a downward trend.
The New York Times reports:
New infections with H.I.V. have dropped by half in the past decade in 25 poor and middle-income countries, many of them in Africa, the continent hardest hit by AIDS, the United Nations said Tuesday.
The greatest success has been in preventing mothers from infecting their babies, but focusing testing and treatment on high-risk groups like gay men, prostitutes and drug addicts has also paid dividends, said Michel Sidibé, the executive director of the agency U.N.AIDS.
Adding that:
Some regions, like Southern Africa and the Caribbean, are doing particularly well, while others, like Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, are not. Globally, new infections are down 22 percent from 2001, when there were 3.2 million. Among newborns, they fell 40 percent, to 330,000 from 550,000.

OAKLAND, CA—The Alameda County Sheriff's Department made its first public pitch on Thursday to the county's Board of Supervisors (PDF) to authorize the purchase of "one to two drones," coming from a $31,000 state grant.
If eventually approved, the county agency would become the first law enforcement agency in California to deploy a drone. The board did not vote on the item. Coincidentally, the hearing was on the same day that two members of Congress introduced legislation that would regulate the domestic use of drones.
Last week, the City of Seattle canceled its own drone program due to public outcry.
Here, dozens of local citizens came out to voice their opposition to the proposed drone purchase, citing privacy concerns. Many wore bright pink "NO DRONES" stickers on their shirts and jackets.
"I think it's important to know about the larger context that we're now hearing, that's the militarization of law enforcement that is progressing at a breakneck pace," said Susan Harmon of Code Pink, an anti-war group.
The tiny drone, which was displayed at the hearing and fits disassembled into a small suitcase, can fly for up to 24 minutes at a height of 400 feet and only has a maximum radius of a quarter-mile from the operator. Alameda County Sheriff Gregory Ahern argued that the drones will be used primarily for search and rescue operations.
Privacy vs. public safety
The sheriff sparred publicly with dissenters from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Both activist groups have argued forcefully for the county to impose much stricter privacy limitations, and some worried that they could further be weaponized.
"We will not use this for surveillance," Ahern re-iterated. "We will not use this for weaponry."
Ahern claimed that his department had consulted extensively with the ACLU, while Linda Lye, an ACLU attorney who was present and testified before the board, vociferously disagreed with that assessment.
"The vast majority of our recommendations were rejected," she said.
The EFF also expressed the need for such rules to be codified, despite the sheriff's promises.
"First, I would like to underscore the current and future capabilities of this technology," Trevor Timm, an activist at the EFF, told the board. "Drones can be equipped with many different types of surveillance equipment. All drones carry some sort of camera with recording capabilities. Some newer high-definition cameras—previously used only by the military—are so powerful they can see the color of your shoelaces from a mile away."
"The drone the Sheriff is asking for now likely won't be the Office's last drone purchase. The technology will likely be obsolete in months, if it isn't already. This is why it is crucial to have rules of the road in place now. Because once the door is opened, it will become much harder to restrict drone use in the future."
Chemical sniffing could come later
Sheriff Ahern did add that the department would eventually like to add various physical sensors, however.
"We'd like to add a chemical component where we could fly it through a cloud, like from refinery smoke, and return it to us and examine what hazards were in the cloud," he told the board.
Ahern told Ars after the hearing that his department has been investigating the use of drones over the past two years, and Alameda County needs this new hardware because it has many semi-rural and rural areas, including forests, hillsides, and valleys.
"I think this is one of the things that would benefit the community," he said. "I think it's such a great idea that I'm willing to listen to arguments on both sides."
The Alameda County Sheriff's Department did release a five-page draft document, outlining a "general order," for operations of the drones.
It outlines ten possible "authorized missions," including "Post-incident crime scene preservation and documentation," "Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) missions," "Response to hazardous materials spills," "Public safety and life preservation" such as a hostage scenario, and "pursuant to a search warrant."
"Upon completion of each sUAS [drone] mission the recorded data shall be reviewed and evaluated for evidentiary value," the order states. "Data of identifiable individuals captured during a sUAS mission shall not be retained unless there is reasonable suspicion that evidence of criminal activity is present. All retained data shall be maintained or destroyed pursuant to Sheriff's Office records retention and evidence policies and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations."

Samsung's move to drop all requests for injunctions against Apple in Europe may not be enough to escape sanctions from the European Commission over the alleged abuse of its standards essential patents. EC Vice President Joaquín Almunia said during a press conference on Thursday in Brussels that his office will continue with its investigation against Samsung and will release a "statement of objections" within the coming weeks.
"Regarding the Apple-Samsung case, we will adopt the statement of objections very soon," Almunia said in response to a journalist question about the ongoing investigation. "I cannot anticipate the day, but just the period—in a very short period of time."
Apple and Samsung have been locked in an ongoing, global legal dispute over smartphone patents since April 2011. Samsung has largely countered Apple's claims that it "blatantly copied" the iPhone and iPad with accusations that Apple infringes its patents related to wireless 3G standards.
However, the patented technologies in question were promised to be licensed under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. The EC's view—which may be shared by the FTC and DoJ in the US—is that seeking court-ordered injunctions based on standards essential patents is likely a violation of anti-competition laws.
The EC announced an active investigation into Samsung's potential abuses of its FRAND promises earlier this year. Almunia indicated that seeking injunctions was "one of the most important" objections that the Commission had with Samsung's tactics, suggesting it was not the only objection.
"We will continue to investigate this for sure," Almunia said. "We are very happy if these injunctions are withdrawn, but we will continue to investigate abuses which existed, according to our view, in the past."

Wind Stats
This image shows how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical June. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with deep blue strongest. It is based on 3266 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Schooner Gulch, located 29 km away (18 miles). There are insufficient recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the dominant wind at Schooner Gulch blows from the SW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Schooner Gulch. On the other hand, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average June, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (pale blue) about 4% of the time (1 days each June) and blows offshore just 5% of the time (1 days in an average June). During a typical June winds exceeding >40kph (25mph) are not expected, but 2 have winds on the range 30-40 (19-25) at Schooner Gulch

Woodrow Wilson
28th president (1913-1921)
Background/Early Life
• Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia, and before he was 20 years old his family would move to Augusta, Georgia; Columbia, South Carolina; and Wilmington, North Carolina.
• Wilson studied at Davidson College in North Carolina and at the College of New Jersey, which later became Princeton University. He practiced law in Atlanta for a short time before pursuing a Ph.D. in history and political science.
• Wilson taught at Bryn Mawr College, Wesleyan University and Princeton, and published a number of books before becoming president of Princeton University in 1902.
• The work he did at Princeton and afterward as governor of New Jersey gained him the national profile he needed to win the presidential election in 1912.
How he defined the office
• Shortly after taking office, President Wilson explained his vision of his role as president to a joint session of Congress, becoming the first president to address Congress personally since John Adams.
• Many historians think of Wilson as the man who set the example for the modern activist president, moving the president from someone who worked on an equal or lesser level with Congress to the dominant branch of government.
• The 19th Amendment was passed during Wilson's time in office, granting women the right to vote.
Successes and failures
• Among the economic policies of the Wilson administration was the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which established the Federal Reserve Board and empowered it with the ability to adjust the interest rate, a system still in place today.
• World War I broke out early in Wilson's first term, and for the first three years of the war Wilson believed America's best approach was to follow its tradition of neutrality. But when German submarines attacked boats that resulted in the deaths of American citizens, the United States was forced to enter the war.
• After the war President Wilson outlined his vision for the future in his "Fourteen Points" speech to Congress. Among his ideas was a league of nations in which he believed the United States would play a leading role. In the end the League of Nations was created, and for political reasons the United States voted to not be a part of it.
• Wilson suffered a stroke late in his presidency that left him half-paralyzed and secluded in his last year in office. He did much of his business through his wife Edith.
notable quote
• "These ... are the things we shall stand for, whether in war or in peace: ... that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed and that no other powers should be supported by the common thought, purpose or power of the family of nations." — from his second inaugural address March 5, 1917.

Firstly, thanks for the overwhelming comments and feedback. Genuinely really appreciated. I am pleased 500+ of you find it useful.submitted by getmrmarket to Forex [link] [comments]
If you didn't read the first post you can do so here: risk management part I. You'll need to do so in order to make sense of the topic.
As ever please comment/reply below with questions or feedback and I'll do my best to get back to you.
Part II
Letting stops breatheWe talked earlier about giving a position enough room to breathe so it is not stopped out in day-to-day noise.
Let's consider the chart below and imagine you had a trailing stop. It would be super painful to miss out on the wider move just because you left a stop that was too tight.
Imagine being long and stopped out on a meaningless retracement ... ouch!
One simple technique is simply to look at your chosen chart - let's say daily bars. And then look at previous trends and use the measuring tool. Those generally look something like this and then you just click and drag to measure.
For example if we wanted to bet on a downtrend on the chart above we might look at the biggest retracement on the previous uptrend. That max drawdown was about 100 pips or just under 1%. So you'd want your stop to be able to withstand at least that.
If market conditions have changed - for example if CVIX has risen - and daily ranges are now higher you should incorporate that. If you know a big event is coming up you might think about that, too. The human brain is a remarkable tool and the power of the eye-ball method is not to be dismissed. This is how most discretionary traders do it.
There are also more analytical approaches.
Some look at the Average True Range (ATR). This attempts to capture the volatility of a pair, typically averaged over a number of sessions. It looks at three separate measures and takes the largest reading. Think of this as a moving average of how much a pair moves.
For example, below shows the daily move in EURUSD was around 60 pips before spiking to 140 pips in March. Conditions were clearly far more volatile in March. Accordingly, you would need to leave your stop further away in March and take a correspondingly smaller position size.
ATR is available on pretty much all charting systems
Professional traders tend to use standard deviation as a measure of volatility instead of ATR. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Averages are useful but can be misleading when regimes switch (see above chart).
Once you have chosen a measure of volatility, stop distance can then be back-tested and optimised. For example does 2x ATR work best or 5x ATR for a given style and time horizon?
Discretionary traders may still eye-ball the ATR or standard deviation to get a feeling for how it has changed over time and what 'normal' feels like for a chosen study period - daily, weekly, monthly etc.
Reasons to change a stopAs a general rule you should be disciplined and not change your stops. Remember - losers average losers. This is really hard at first and we're going to look at that in more detail later.
There are some good reasons to modify stops but they are rare.
One reason is if another risk management process demands you stop trading and close positions. We'll look at this later. In that case just close out your positions at market and take the loss/gains as they are.
Another is event risk. If you have some big upcoming data like Non Farm Payrolls that you know can move the market +/- 150 pips and you have no edge going into the release then many traders will take off or scale down their positions. They'll go back into the positions when the data is out and the market has quietened down after fifteen minutes or so. This is a matter of some debate - many traders consider it a coin toss and argue you win some and lose some and it all averages out.
Trailing stops can also be used to 'lock in' profits. We looked at those before. As the trade moves in your favour (say up if you are long) the stop loss ratchets with it. This means you may well end up 'stopping out' at a profit - as per the below example.
The mighty trailing stop loss order
It is perfectly reasonable to have your stop loss move in the direction of PNL. This is not exposing you to more risk than you originally were comfortable with. It is taking less and less risk as the trade moves in your favour. Trend-followers in particular love trailing stops.
One final question traders ask is what they should do if they get stopped out but still like the trade. Should they try the same trade again a day later for the same reasons? Nope. Look for a different trade rather than getting emotionally wed to the original idea.
Let's say a particular stock looked cheap based on valuation metrics yesterday, you bought, it went down and you got stopped out. Well, it is going to look even better on those same metrics today. Maybe the market just doesn't respect value at the moment and is driven by momentum. Wait it out.
Otherwise, why even have a stop in the first place?
Entering and exiting winning positionsTake profits are the opposite of stop losses. They are also resting orders, left with the broker, to automatically close your position if it reaches a certain price.
Imagine I'm long EURUSD at 1.1250. If it hits a previous high of 1.1400 (150 pips higher) I will leave a sell order to take profit and close the position.
The rookie mistake on take profits is to take profit too early. One should start from the assumption that you will win on no more than half of your trades. Therefore you will need to ensure that you win more on the ones that work than you lose on those that don't.
Sad to say but incredibly common: retail traders often take profits way too early
This is going to be the exact opposite of what your emotions want you to do. We are going to look at that in the Psychology of Trading chapter.
Remember: let winners run. Just like stops you need to know in advance the level where you will close out at a profit. Then let the trade happen. Don't override yourself and let emotions force you to take a small profit. A classic mistake to avoid.
The trader puts on a trade and it almost stops out before rebounding. As soon as it is slightly in the money they spook and cut out, instead of letting it run to their original take profit. Do not do this.
Entering positions with limit ordersThat covers exiting a position but how about getting into one?
Take profits can also be left speculatively to enter a position. Sometimes referred to as "bids" (buy orders) or "offers" (sell orders). Imagine the price is 1.1250 and the recent low is 1.1205.
You might wish to leave a bid around 1.2010 to enter a long position, if the market reaches that price. This way you don't need to sit at the computer and wait.
Again, typically traders will use tech analysis to identify attractive levels. Again - other traders will cluster with your orders. Just like the stop loss we need to bake that in.
So this time if we know everyone is going to buy around the recent low of 1.1205 we might leave the take profit bit a little bit above there at 1.1210 to ensure it gets done. Sure it costs 5 more pips but how mad would you be if the low was 1.1207 and then it rallied a hundred points and you didn't have the trade on?!
There are two more methods that traders often use for entering a position.
Scaling in is one such technique. Let's imagine that you think we are in a long-term bulltrend for AUDUSD but experiencing a brief retracement. You want to take a total position of 500,000 AUD and don't have a strong view on the current price action.
You might therefore leave a series of five bids of 100,000. As the price moves lower each one gets hit. The nice thing about scaling in is it reduces pressure on you to pick the perfect level. Of course the risk is that not all your orders get hit before the price moves higher and you have to trade at-market.
Pyramiding is the second technique. Pyramiding is for take profits what a trailing stop loss is to regular stops. It is especially common for momentum traders.
Pyramiding into a position means buying more as it goes in your favour
Again let's imagine we're bullish AUDUSD and want to take a position of 500,000 AUD.
Here we add 100,000 when our first signal is reached. Then we add subsequent clips of 100,000 when the trade moves in our favour. We are waiting for confirmation that the move is correct.
Obviously this is quite nice as we humans love trading when it goes in our direction. However, the drawback is obvious: we haven't had the full amount of risk on from the start of the trend.
You can see the attractions and drawbacks of both approaches. It is best to experiment and choose techniques that work for your own personal psychology as these will be the easiest for you to stick with and build a disciplined process around.
Risk:reward and win ratiosBe extremely skeptical of people who claim to win on 80% of trades. Most traders will win on roughly 50% of trades and lose on 50% of trades. This is why risk management is so important!
Once you start keeping a trading journal you'll be able to see how the win/loss ratio looks for you. Until then, assume you're typical and that every other trade will lose money.
If that is the case then you need to be sure you make more on the wins than you lose on the losses. You can see the effect of this below.
A combination of win % and risk:reward ratio determine if you are profitable
A typical rule of thumb is that a ratio of 1:3 works well for most traders.
That is, if you are prepared to risk 100 pips on your stop you should be setting a take profit at a level that would return you 300 pips.
One needn't be religious about these numbers - 11 pips and 28 pips would be perfectly fine - but they are a guideline.
Again - you should still use technical analysis to find meaningful chart levels for both the stop and take profit. Don't just blindly take your stop distance and do 3x the pips on the other side as your take profit. Use the ratio to set approximate targets and then look for a relevant resistance or support level in that kind of region.
Risk-adjusted returnsNot all returns are equal. Suppose you are examining the track record of two traders. Now, both have produced a return of 14% over the year. Not bad!
The first trader, however, made hundreds of small bets throughout the year and his cumulative PNL looked like the left image below.
The second trader made just one bet — he sold CADJPY at the start of the year — and his PNL looked like the right image below with lots of large drawdowns and volatility.
Would you rather have the first trading record or the second?
If you were investing money and betting on who would do well next year which would you choose? Of course all sensible people would choose the first trader. Yet if you look only at returns one cannot distinguish between the two. Both are up 14% at that point in time. This is where the Sharpe ratio helps .
A high Sharpe ratio indicates that a portfolio has better risk-adjusted performance. One cannot sensibly compare returns without considering the risk taken to earn that return.
If I can earn 80% of the return of another investor at only 50% of the risk then a rational investor should simply leverage me at 2x and enjoy 160% of the return at the same level of risk.
This is very important in the context of Execution Advisor algorithms (EAs) that are popular in the retail community. You must evaluate historic performance by its risk-adjusted return — not just the nominal return. Incidentally look at the Sharpe ratio of ones that have been live for a year or more ...
Otherwise an EA developer could produce two EAs: the first simply buys at 1000:1 leverage on January 1st ; and the second sells in the same manner. At the end of the year, one of them will be discarded and the other will look incredible. Its risk-adjusted return, however, would be abysmal and the odds of repeated success are similarly poor.
Sharpe ratioThe Sharpe ratio works like this:
You don't really need to know how to calculate Sharpe ratios. Good trading software will do this for you. It will either be available in the system by default or you can add a plug-in.
VARVAR is another useful measure to help with drawdowns. It stands for Value at Risk. Normally people will use 99% VAR (conservative) or 95% VAR (aggressive). Let's say you're long EURUSD and using 95% VAR. The system will look at the historic movement of EURUSD. It might spit out a number of -1.2%.
A 5% VAR of -1.2% tells you you should expect to lose 1.2% on 5% of days, whilst 95% of days should be better than that
This means it is expected that on 5 days out of 100 (hence the 95%) the portfolio will lose 1.2% or more. This can help you manage your capital by taking appropriately sized positions. Typically you would look at VAR across your portfolio of trades rather than trade by trade.
Sharpe ratios and VAR don't give you the whole picture, though. Legendary fund manager, Howard Marks of Oaktree, notes that, while tools like VAR and Sharpe ratios are helpful and absolutely necessary, the best investors will also overlay their own judgment.
Investors can calculate risk metrics like VaR and Sharpe ratios (we use them at Oaktree; they're the best tools we have), but they shouldn't put too much faith in them. The bottom line for me is that risk management should be the responsibility of every participant in the investment process, applying experience, judgment and knowledge of the underlying investments.Howard Marks of Oaktree Capital
What he's saying is don't misplace your common sense. Do use these tools as they are helpful. However, you cannot fully rely on them. Both assume a normal distribution of returns. Whereas in real life you get "black swans" - events that should supposedly happen only once every thousand years but which actually seem to happen fairly often.
These outlier events are often referred to as "tail risk". Don't make the mistake of saying "well, the model said…" - overlay what the model is telling you with your own common sense and good judgment.

We had a great show this past Wednesday with Gil Marks whose knowledge of all things food is truly encyclopedic. If you missed the show you can hear it here. It was fascinating to delve into the traditions of food, what's behind a name, it was/it is well worth a listen.
This upcoming Wednesday's show will feature another fascinating guest, Nina Shapir, a Brooklyn restaurateur with a difference. Who is Nina Shapir? I've spoken to her when The Kosher scene reviewed her Natural Village Cafe and this were my impressions:
Nina Shapir, who presides over this eatery is truly a fascinating personality, the personal journey that changed her life and motivated her to open this establishment is full of commitment and dedication.
Fourteen years ago, Mrs. Shapir – a very young mother of three – found herself sick and unable to move, unable to cope. It was not a question of being financially overwhelmed, any such concerns were well taken care of. Medical tests and treatments produced no positive results, on the contrary things inexplicably kept getting worse. She met Harav Chay Azoulay, from Herzliya, who told her the real malady was not physical but rather one that affected her neshama. After some thought, trying to make sense of Rav Azulay's words, she went on a detox diet with the help of healthfood stores, intent on ridding herself of all negative energies. This decision was followed by six very hard weeks before she saw any measurable improvements but soon after she was her old active, curious, intelligent, enterprising self again.
At this stage, Nina decided to help others who, though similarly afflicted, may not be aware of the real source of their health troubles. She went on to study Healing Arts at The School of Natural Healing in Utah from which she graduated. Seven years ago her first organic restaurant opened its doors. Her partner, however, was not frum and it proved frustrating, eventually Nina bought her out. In 2008 she moved to the present location which combines her personal philosophy, her exquisite sense of aesthetics and the true love of a foodie for superb fare. She also has an an office adjacent to the restaurant where she treats the many in search of natural healing.
Please listen in on our show on Wednesday at 8:00pm on Jewish Radio Network. Click on the red "here" under the white "Radio," then wait about 90 to 180 seconds for the application to start streaming.

Spike is dreamy.
He's also evil, dangerous, and undead. The platinum-haired crush of many Buffy fans is a twisted mess of emotions, poetry, death, and destruction. He's also dreamy. *ahem*
I'll not defend William the Bloody (Spike). He's done some horrific things in his 100+ years on this earth. But I will say that, for a bloke without a soul, he's pretty sweet.
Spike is a vampire. He has no conscience, yet he manages to have morals. Sometimes. When he feels like it. Not killing people for starters.
Okay… He's got a chip in his head, courtesy of the demented Professor Maggie Walsh with her underground government agency, group of scientists, and soldier boys. As long as that chip's nestled in Spike's brain, he can't hurt a human. There is that.
But there is so much more. Choices he makes when the chip stops working. When it's removed. When he's on his own, has free will, without technology interfering. He helps. Again and again. He helps. There is a bit of the meek poet he used to be in the 1800s still hanging out inside this demon leaving a delicious mixture of sentimental and homicidal. Like the time he swishes off in his black trench coat to kill Buffy with a shotgun and winds up sitting on the back porch consoling her. Because. Spike. Buffy's crying and he wants to know if there's anything he can do. When there isn't, he sits with her. Who has empathy as a soulless demon? He's a bit of a marshmallow. With fangs.
I'll just throw in here that he nearly gets himself killed, going through "trials" that really should have killed him, to get his soul back. He chose to do this. He didn't die, but did get majorly beaten and driven insane in the process.
Not to mention (yet I will) the comic relief he adds to the show. He's dry. Deadpan. My favorite kind of humor. Though, in the Buffyverse, almost everyone has a side of humor with their evil-doing or evil-fighting. But Spike's delivery is just…brilliant.
We can't get too comfy around him. He can't be trusted. Not entirely. And yet characters do trust him (with their lives and the lives of their loved ones). He offers help when the Scooby Gang needs it. He is deadly, yes. He is also affectionate, sensitive, and loyal.
Alas, at the end of the day (and well into the night), this lovely lad is still a vampire. One who saved the world. Just saying. ❤
I saw this blogathon forever ago. It's about crushes. It can't be an actor or actress, it must be the character. (Big shout-out to James Marsters, though, for his portrayal of Spike.) These movie blogathons are so fun. But then I saw television and book characters were fair game. I mean. Seriously? Awesome! Then…I thought. And thought. And, honestly, I was overwhelmed.
My mind was suddenly flooded with ALL OF THE PEOPLE. How could anyone choose one character from all the books, televisions shows, and movies out there. It's impossible. So I picked one and created a running list that I plan to explore in the future. A blog series of amazing characters (and what makes them so damn lovable).
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: I'm pretty much crushing on, like, half the characters in Joss Whedon's Buffyverse. My favs are: Spike (James Marsters), Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), and my girl crush, Willow (Alyson Hannigan).
Gilmore Girls: Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham)
Northern Exposure: Chris Stevens (John Corbett)
Xena, Warrior Princess: Xena (Lucy Lawless)
And many more…
LOTR: Strider/Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom)
Harry Potter: Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), Severus Snape (Alan Rickman)
Good Will Hunting: Will Hunting (Matt Damon)
Ocean's Eleven: Erm…everyone. Okay, Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), if I had to choose.
Princess Bride: Westley/Dread Pirate Roberts (Cary Elwes)
The Avengers: Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.)
Blazing Saddles: Jim (Gene Wilder), Lili Von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn)
Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood: Viv Abbott Walker (Young: Ashley Judd / Older: Ellen Burstyn)
Grosse Pointe Blank: Martin Blank (John Cusack)
Dead Again: Gray Baker (Andy Garcia)
Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence)
And many, many more…
I can't even. My brain hurts just thinking about this.
After I wrote my list of crushes, I thought, "Geez, Sarah, here's something to look into, no? I mean, you're crushing on some pretty unpleasant people." Indeed. It's a very interesting list. People who are crass, wicked, dangerous, manipulative… Criminals, demons, hit men…
Shiny, happy people aren't my thing. Flaws are intriguing. That said, I don't go for the truly evil. They're not my thing, either. I find them disturbing. I love the reformed, conflicted, confused (or confusing) ones. For example, the sexist, womanizing, jackass billionaire Tony Stark (Iron Man) who, in The Avengers, consistently risks his own life to help innocents and, at the end, is the one who goes on a suicide flight to save the world. Or the hit man, Martin Blank, who has killed his share (and more) but is having a bit of a crisis and winds up saving a girl, her father, and some random folks along the way.
I think it's safe to say I like my characters a little rough around the edges.
Character crushes. They are difficult to narrow down. At least for me. Who's your crush? (Or crushes?)

It's been a while since I did an update on our Independence Days project. Over the last few weeks we've done a lot. But mainly I made up for a bit of garden neglect this weekend. We pulled lots of weeds. Lots and lots of weeds.
Rick has been working hard over the last few weeks at digging out the tree stump. It's such a big project, but this weekend he got through the last of the big roots and even the tap roots underneath. He moved it a bit with our 4Runner, but we still need to get the trunk hauled before we can really move the stump anywhere.
I've been consumed with baby things lately as I realized last week while finishing up the nursery that we had NO baby clothes. I mean none. We thought we were done after Emmett, and since the house is small, we didn't keep anything around. Whatever I didn't sell I donated. So I did a lot of shopping this weekend. But it was fun. Rick and I went together, and I realized that it was the first time that we actually bought baby clothes together. 🙂 And now, the baby will have something to wear when he or she gets here.
Here's the update…
Plant something – okra, two varieties of sunflowers, and sad to admit, but beans and squash just went into the ground. I hope we get something?
Harvest something – eggs, lettuce, garlic scapes, peas, thinned carrots and onions, got a few (a handful) of raspberries!
Preserve something – quiches and some grilled chicken in the freezer… mainly things for after the baby comes.
Waste Not – compost, scraps to chickens, recycling. Planned meals for 24 weeks straight, but then I missed last week, and our budget showed this. But I have a plan going for this week, so I'm back on the wagon. 25 weeks planned this year so far. I used some scrap wood from the garage to make a trellis for the grape vine, and I sold the gas-powered mower and set the money aside for a new push-reel mower. It's been raining a lot so we've just been watering the gardens and the lawn by hand as needed. Also consolidated the freezers and unplugged the upright for the summer.
Want Not – Got new shoes for both boys (again!) – this time from the resale shop. Got lots of neutral baby items this weekend second hand, and re-purposed a sturdy shelf to be the new changing table in the nursery. Thrifted some pictures frames for the baby's room too.
Build Community Food Systems – While my cousins were in town, our CSA started distribution. This led to a few conversations about food – local, organic, non-GMO, etc. I was super excited that when she got home, she went shopping and sent me an email detailing out her changes – she went for all local and/or organic produce, natural meats, organic dairy, etc…. !! I know it's not building MY community on this one, as they live in Tennessee, but it was really encouraging!
I hope everyone had a great Independence Day! We celebrated by working outside and of course watching fireworks. 😉

The SAT Reasoning Test is a test that measures verbal reasoning, critical reading, math problem solving, and writing skills related to successful performance in college. The current SAT scores reflect recent changes to the SAT which now includes three sections instead of two. The writing section was new in 2006. The SAT Reasoning Test is intended to supplement the secondary school record and other information about the student, in assessing readiness for college-level work.
"The most significant factor in interpreting SAT scores is the proportion of eligible students taking the exam - the participation rate. In general, the higher the percentage of students taking the test, the lower the average scores." College Board Press Release, August 28, 2001.
The SAT results are reported as the mean (average) scores for each section. SAT scores in each section range from 200 (lowest) to 800 (highest).
Note: Comparison of district data from year to year may not be valid due to redistricting of schools.

Obama's Latest War Crime
Although Obama's supporters continue to enjoy the largest tax increase ever dumped on the people by a sitting president, and while they prepare for the full takeover of the government by additional communists today in the Senate, perhaps they could take time off from reveling in the final destruction of this country long enough to explain why Obama has murdered Maulvi Nazir and 12 other people in Pakistan with a drone attack. Last time I checked, which was yesterday morning, not only was the United States not at war with Pakistan, but Pakistan had finally reached a truce with Maulvi Nazir, which had the promise of finally stabilizing portions of North Wazirstan with its attendant benefits of stabilizing the tribal regions in a way that might have also brought a political solution to Afghanistan. OK, Nazir was a no-goodnik and he didn't like most Americans (who does?), but he was fast becoming a force of stability for one or our allegedly allied nations. Oh, and collateral damage of 12 people too, let's not forget that.
I know that the people on this blog who used to argue that Congress did not give W a blank check for the war in Afghanistan apparently intended to give a blank check to Obama, who was still working through the Peter Principle at the time (2001) to attack and kill criminal suspects in Pakistan. But did Congress really intend Obama to have the power to kill someone working with one or our allies, which happens not only to be experiencing growing frustration and anger with Americans, but which also possesses nuclear weapons and has deferred from nuclear proliferation partly out of goodies received from its American ally? And whatabout the credible argument that for every questionable militant killed by a drone Obama is creating 100 more recruits?
I'd like those folk who support Obama to explain this foreign policy to me–where Obama has the power to continue killing people in Pakistan over the objections of the allied government, and why this policy makes any political, military, legal or ethical/moral sense. Then you can go back to enjoying Obama's tax payer financed vacation.

Etna Lions Varsity baseball: Lions fall on the road to Pirates
The Etna Lions varsity baseball team put on an impressive display of hitting on Wednesday, finishing with 22 runs in two games against Phoenix, Ore., on the road.
The problem for the Lions was the Pirates also hit the ball well and ended up with more runs as Etna dropped both contests 11-10 and 16-11 at the Pirates home field in Talent.
"It was a slug fest," Etna High head coach Collin Krueger said. "The hiting was great by both teams."
The conditions were quite windy, which affected where the ball went, as the wind made things interesting.
"It was hard on the outfielders," Krueger said. "It's hard to judge a ball when the wind changes the direction of where the ball drops."
Etna fell to 5-6 overall while Phoenix improved to 4-0.
In game one, the Lions had bases loaded with no outs the top of the first. By the end of the inning, Etna earned three runs and seemed to be on the right track. But the Pirates quickly showed this was going to be a high scoring game as they smacked in five runs the bottom of the first.The runs continued to come for the Lions as they took an 7-5 advantage the top of the second inning.The game continued to be a back and forth affair as both teams kept connecting with the ball and bringing in runs.
In the seventh inning, with the scored tied at 10-10, the Lions left runners on second and third base as the game went into extra innings. The Pirates won the game thanks to a triple and a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth.
While Krueger believes his team should have won the first game, he said he impressed by the way they hit and "never let up."
Ricky Reynolds went 3-for-5 with an RBI. Trevor Stacher went 2-for-4 with two RBI's. Andrew Stone finished 2-for-5 with two RBI's. Tyler Murphy went 2-for-5 with two runs.
In game two, the Lions went on a tear early and scored the first seven runs. The Pirates proved that there is a reason they have been considered a good team in the region for awhile and tied things up at 7-7 in the fourth. In the fifth inning, Phoenix brought in six runs as they held onto the lead to take game two by five runs.
Preston Munson went 2-for-4 with three RBI's. Kainen Krueger finished 2-for-4 with one RBI. Murphy went 3-for-5 with two runs. Nick Meyer finished 2-for-5 with three runs. Alex Berry went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Krueger said the two games showed the squad still has work to do, including the need to be more consistent on defense and reducing errors.
The Lions head back to Oregon on Friday for a doubleheader against Rogue River starting at 1 p.m.

Strat-O-Matic Game Replay (BETA)
Now, you can watch last night's games - or any past game ever! - unfold play by play, or inning by inning, or at whatever pace you wish, with the new Strat-O-Matic Game Replay! Just click on the binoculars icon () next to any past game to start the show. The playback will begin automatically after the page finishes loading.
Controls / Features
- Press the Pause button in the upper left corner of the baseball field display to pause the action.
- While paused, press the button again (Play) to resume the action.
- Set the playback speed using the slider under the field display.
- Click on the Skip button (next to the Play/Pause button) to fast-forward to the start of the next half-inning.
- Click on any half-inning in the line score to seek to the start of that half-inning.
Game Replay is currently in Beta, which means it has not been rigorously tested and is unlikely to be free of bugs. If you watch games normally without clicking excessively on the Play/Pause and Skip buttons, the Game Replay should work fine for you.
Note: The Game Replay is known to have problems running on earlier versions of Internet Explorer. Please upgrade to the latest version of IE if you can't get it to run at all, or use another browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
While the Game Replay is running, the kind of issues you may run into (if at all) would likely include:
- Play-by-play lines appearing twice in the event window.
- The Skip button not taking you all the way through to the end of the half-inning. In this case, just click the button again.
- An unrecognized type of play. Please report any plays you find that are not handled as expected.
- A pinch-runner replaces the wrong runner. Unfortunately, the standard play-by-play report generated by the game engine doesn't specify which player a pinch-runner is replacing if there's more than one possibility. Since Game Replay simply parses the play-by-play report, in these cases it has no other (feasible) choice but to assume that the pinch-runner is replacing the lead runner, which obviously will be incorrect sometimes.
In general, these types of problems are more likely to occur if you play around with the controls while playback is running. The Skip button and the seek-to-half-inning controls automatically Pause the action when you arrive at your destination, so you'll usually be Paused while using them during normal operation.
If you encounter a problem with the Game Replay, or you just have a suggestion, please drop us a line at email@example.com, and be sure to include a link to the game in question.

Fredrik Nilsen is the latest contributor to our Artists Respond series of web-based project inspired by an exhibition at LACMA. Nilsen made all of the exquisite photographs in the publication associated with the Ken Price exhibition that just opened this weekend; for Artists Respond, Nilsen shares his own artistic practice, pairing some of his own work with selected works by Price in an online gallery that he describes here:
In early 2011, I began photographing Ken Price's work for the catalog of his 2012 retrospective at LACMA. I was honored to be involved from the beginning of the project and spent the balance of the year traveling and shooting works by this extraordinarily inspiring artist. I spent hours looking intensely at his objects, studying them and choosing the angles and lighting that would best represent the works, to tell their story.
The experience culminated in a trip to Taos to work with Kenny and his amazing family. Working side by side with the man in his studio, photographing his work space and the gardens and the landscape surrounding his home, I gained a deeper understanding of who he is as an artist and as a person. We swapped stories of our passion for surfing, and I learned he was a waterman. I believe that the fluid characteristics of much of his work may have come, in part, from his knowledge of the wave and the nature of water.
In 2008 I began a body of work that I simply refer to as water studies. Each water study consists of two images closely aligned. They depict two watery scenes, shot within moments of each other at either the same camera angle or an offset position. The offsets and re-filtrations by the moving water produce either a very similar or a very dissimilar juxtaposition. In this series I feel an affinity to Ken's work.
I present here a selection of my photographs of Ken's sculpture paired with my water studies where I see parallels. Many of these water studies were shot before I began to shoot Ken's work. As I studied Ken's artworks it became apparent to me that Ken's work reflected an interest in natural forms which coincides at certain points with my own study of the nature of water.

Bell Curve divides Ohio's Reds-Tribe loyalties
The Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds almost equally divide Ohio, according to the New York Times.
The newspaper posted a graphic Thursday it titled A Map of Baseball Nation. The interactive graphic reveals the geographic popularity of Major League Baseball teams based on Facebook likes. The newspaper plotted the fanbases by zipcode and the results show the baseball lines of loyalty within Ohio's borders.
As a youngster who grew up in Licking County during the 1970s, I didn't know a single Indians fan. The Big Red Machine was riding high. There were fistfights on our Little League team to wear Johnny Bench's No. 5. Pete Rose and his No. 14 were considered a decent consolation prize. Some even took to Joe Morgan's No. 8.
Marty (Brennaman) and Joe (Nuxhall) on Reds Radio was a fixture at block parties. Only the hard-core baseball fans understood Herb Score's longtime tie to the Indians. No one in our neighborhood knew what number Oscar Gamble wore, or cared. The Tribe was putrid, and had been for decades. I'm not sure a single radio station in the region carried Cleveland games.
One of the canned jokes on the old river boat cruise at Cedar Point routinely came at the bend where wax figured Native Americans took aim at the vessel. "Don't worry," the teenaged captain invariably deadpanned. "Those are Cleveland Indians, and everybody knows they can't hit ANYTHING."
But then came a monumental momentum shift. The Reds fell into disarray behind a series of bad front office hires and worse on-field moves. Meanwhile, the Indians developed into a postseason regular in the mid to late 1990s, with a couple of World Series trips to boot.
Ohio's recognizable baseball stars were Albert Belle, Jim Thome, Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel and Manny Ramirez. Sure, Barry Larkin was a fine player for the Reds, and a Hall of Famer. But Ken Griffey Jr. could never stay healthy and Cincinnati simply couldn't sustain success after winning the 1990 World Series, at least not as consistently as the Indians.
The popularity of the franchises reflects that shortcoming to this day.
According to the map provided by the New York Times, the very middle of the state is equally divided. Franklin County is home to 26 percent Reds fans, 26 percent Indians fans and 12 percent front-running Yankees fans. I've never met one of that latter group — nor would I like to.
If you're keeping score at home, a Bell Curve slices through Ohio, splitting Reds and Indians fans.
Brief interlude: The Bell family features a three-generation connection to Ohio and both teams. Gus Bell was a popular player for the Reds in the 1950s. Buddy Bell sandwiched a fine career with the Texas Rangers around average years with the Indians (at the start of his career) and Reds (at the end of his career). David Bell, was a highly-regarded Indians prospect who had an 11-year Major League stint as a utility infielder for numerous teams.
The Bell Curve begins near Ottawa, the Putnam County seat in the northeast corridor of Ohio. About 32 percent of these residents are Reds fans and 23 percent Tribe backers. Directly north is Henry County, where the Detroit Tigers reign supreme.
The Bell Curve arcs through Marion and dives south toward Columbus. It bounces east through Newark and Zanesville, then angles southeast below Coshocton toward Marietta. Those under the Bell Curve don red lids with the traditional C. North of the imaginary line is whatever wacky wear the Tribe chooses to feature for the season.
This imaginary but emotional boundary divides the vast majority of Ohio's Major League Baseball fans. Yet there are pockets of interlopers.
In Paulding County, the northwest edge bordering on Indiana, 21 percent of Facebook fans inexplicably follow the Cubs, 15 percent are Reds supporters and 13 percent claim the Yankees. It's the only region in Ohio like this.
Toledo is Tigers country, 45 percent of Facebook fans boost the Detroit franchise, while 15 percent back the Tribe and 12 percent the Yankees. Surrounding communities in the region have a similarly logical, but unfortunate affliction of geographic proximity to Detroit.
Southeastern Ohio is Pirates territory, understandable considering its short slide into Pittsburgh. Steubenville is probably the epicenter, with 44 percent of Jefferson County fans following the Pirates and 18 percent on the Tribe bandwagon.
Interestingly, the Indians have almost no reach beyond Ohio's borders. Yet the Reds dominate Kentucky, reach well into West Virginia and Indiana, and also dip into northern Tennessee.
These are the kinds of things we discuss when both of Ohio's Major League teams are struggling to finish April above .500.

Filers should be aware of online tax scams
Even with spam filters on their computers, people get bombarded by e-mail scams, some of which involve income taxes or the IRS.
And for the scammers, tax filing season means opportunities to try to fool people.
The goal of these crooks is to get people to provide their personal and financial information, whether it is Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers.
Then, they can steal money through identity theft. How to know whether it's a "phishing" scheme? Remember, the IRS does not send unsolicited e-mail about tax matters to individuals, businesses or other taxpayers.
The typical scam e-mail isn't personalized because the senders typically need to send messages in large volume to successfully trip someone up.
The IRS asks that if you have gotten what appears to be a suspicious e-mail, that you forward it to the agency. You can find out how on the IRS Web site.

The usual thing I thought, scanning some photos, download them to the server, writing some words, and – damn, too late, somebody else was faster!
Wrong, so I take the start.
What about Kay Petre, racing Rileys in the 30's?
After racing a Riley 9 Brooklands, e.g. at the 1934 24 heures du Mans, she accquired Raymond May's famous "White Riley", now painted pale-blue, and entered it at the 1935 Shelsley Walsh hill climb, the time was a phantastic 43.8 seconds. Mays record run in the same event with the stronger ERA was 39.6 sec.
Later that year Mrs. Petre took that car to Brooklands for an attack on the Mountain Circuit Class F Lap Record. At 77.97 mph her success meant not only had she beaten Prince Bira's previous record (with his much stronger ERA "Romulus"), but she had become the first woman ever to hold any Mountain Circuit class record.
Posted 04 January 2001 - 20:43
More details about Kay Petre can be found on the Brooklands Society homepage at
and a lot of photos at http://www.brookland.....htm#Kay exits
An here some photos "Women at Brooklands":
And by the way, the Derby-Miller was driven by Gwenda Stewart, holder of the ultimate
Outer Circuit women's lap record at Brooklands.
Posted 05 January 2001 - 04:31
Her car had been clipped by Reg Parnell's and Reg was suspended from racing for what would have been a very long period had not WWII intervened.
I think this was in Graham Gauld's book on Parnell.
Does anyone have more accurate memories of this - or have the book close to hand?
Regardless, I think that Kay Petre was one of the best women racing drivers, of surprisingly many, when you sit down and have a look at the history of the sport.
There is another story rattling around in my head: long distance record run... Montlhery... something about switching the engine off at full throttle at the finish to check the plug readings... crashed... Kay Petre? Or was that someone else?

Reg Parnell by Graham Gauld (page 26 and more)
"...The 1937 Racing season ended badly for Reg Parnell (and Kay Petre), while they were practising for the BRDC 500 meeting at Brooklands on the fast Outer Circuit where average speed were high. This was one of the major events of the year and Reg Parnell had entered his MG. On the Friday the weather was miserable, but he went out on the track to get as much practice as possible.
The brilliant woman driver Kay Petre had been offered a factory Austin Seven single-seater to race at the meeting. She and Reg had enjoyed a great duel at Crystal Palace only a few weeks before, so both were aware of the other's ability.
On this occasion, Kay was still feeling her way in the Austin when she was overtaken by Reg high on the banking. The MG started to slide and Reg held it, but the loss of momentum caused the car to swerve down the banking and straight into Kay's car at right angles. The little Austin Seven rolled over and over, throwing Kay out on the track. Perhaps it was fortunate that she was thrown clear, as the Seven was badly damaged and ended up in ditch. Meanwhile Reg's MG careered off the track and into the railings, where he also sustained injuries, albeit minor compared to the petite and pretty Petre, who was rushed to the Weybridge Cottage Hospital with serious injuries.
Born Kay Defries, she was a Canadian and always something of a tomboy, despite being a small, very attractive and always well dressed woman with dark hair and bubbly personality. She came to England and met her husband Henry Petre, one of the many pioneer pilots who flew out of Brooklands with his Deperdussin monoplane. He took part in air displays and was nicknamed Peter the Monk. Something of a character, and a noted male chauvinist, Henry had vowed never to have anything to do with women, and would even leave the local haunt, the Blue Bird café at Brooklands, if a girl appeared. Then one day he arrived with a young wife called Kay, who was quite happy to chatter away with the boys and become one of the gang.
She was determined to make a name for herself as a racing driver and started racing with an Invicta owned by her husband. However, Henry didn't like this idea and bought her a Wolseley Hornet in which she won her first Ladies Race at Brooklands. Not content with this, she persuaded one of Brookland's legendary racing drivers, L.G. Hornstead - who had originally raced a Benz in 1911 - to teach her the rudiments of race driving, and in 1933 she bought a 2 litre supercharged Bugatti. Although she was very much "one of the boy", she was also very feminine and used to choose her racing overalls to match the colour of the car. It is said that on one occasion, whenn her car was being overhauled, the seat was removed only to reveal a lipstick in a case, a stopwatch, seven cigarettes and various other things a woman might keep in a handbag, but these were lying in the undertray of a racing car.
In the impact of the Brooklands accident, Kay Petre was knocked unconscious, but when they got her to hospital it was realised that she had very serious head injuries and her life was in the balance. However, she was a determined lady and not only survived the accident and some plastic surgery but even overcame partial paralysis. Needless to say it was one of her last races, but she had had a spectacular career.
Retiring from racing, she became motorig correspondent of the Daily Sketch, a post she held until after the war, when she was giving a role within the Austin Motor Compay, as amongst other things, their colour consultant. She was one of 7 members of the motoring press who were present at an informal meeting at the Press Club in London on 9 October 1944, when plans were laid for a Motoring Correspondent's Circle - the forerunner of today's Guild of Motoring Writers..."

Grosvenor, Lady Mary (GB)
b 1911 - d 2000
Daughter of the Duke of Westminster, she competed on rallies such as the RAC and RSAC in the 1930s. On purchasing two Riley Sprites, she competed on pre-war hillclimbs. From 1947, she competed with a Bugatti T35 and an Alta, and purchased a Frazer Nash Le Mans Replica with which she hill-climbed. She retired from motorsport in 1951 after her father's death, in order to manage her estates in South Africa, Kenya and Scotland.
Junek, Elizabeth (CZ)
Married Czech banker Cenek Junek who funded her racing in the 1920s. She ran fourth in th 1927 Targa Florio before her steering broke, and won the 1.5-3 litre class of the German GP at the Nürburgring on her first visit there. Led the 1928 Targa Florio until water pump failure forced her to back off. On returning to the Nürburgring, her husband crashed and was killed, and Elizabeth withdrew from racing, although she returned in the 1960s for one off historic demonstrations.
Moss-Carlsson, Pat (GB)
The sister of Stirling Moss, Pat became an accomplished rally driver in the late 1950s and early 1960s. She was initially interested in horses and show jumping, and passed her driving at the age of 17 in a Morris Ten. Stirling's manager, Ken Gregory, invited her one day to go on a Night Experts rally with him, and after this she got the racing bug.
Pat then purchased a Morris Minor, which was tuned by Stirling's mechanic, Alf Francis, and fitted in a rally program around her show jumping commitments, and eventually replaced the Minor with a Triumph TR2 financed by her show jumping winnings. This led to some successes, and Pat was offered better cars to drive, and by the 1960s Pat was winning rallies outright. Pat finished second overall on the 1964 San Remo Rally, drove a works Cortina GT on the 1963 RAC Rally, and finished 5th overall on the 1964 Monte Carlo Rally. She rallied a Lancia Fulvia in 1968, and won the Coupe des Dames four times. She married Saab rally driver Erik Carlsson in the early '60s.
Mouton, Michele (F)
b 23/6/1951
1981 - World Rally Championship (Audi Quattro): won San Remo Rally
1982 - World Rally Championship (Audi Quattro): won Portuguese, Acropolis and Brazilian rallies.
1986 - Retired from rallying. Organised the Race of Champions event since this time.

My note in the book says she went on to compete 'extensively at Brooklands and other British venues, Le Mans and the Monte Carlo Rally.'
She even embarked on the hazardous adventure of driving a Riley to England from Australia, in company with two other women in similar cars!
John Blanden notes in his book ('A History of Australian Grand Prix - 1928-1939') that she was the first woman driver in the AGP, she was a well known sportswoman of the time, was subsequently to be the first Australian to drive in the Le Mans 24-hour race. He gives the names, too, of her accomplices on the trip to England in their Riley 9s, Jean Robertson and Kathleen Howell. They drove to Darwin (an adventure in itself in 1931!), shipped the cars through Malaya to Penang and then on to Calcutta. They drove through Bengal to New Delhi and Bombay. On reaching Alexandria they shipped the cars to Italy and then entered the three of them in the Monte Carlo Rally, with their starting point at Palermo in Sicily, and all three finished.
The group finished up in England (the rally was merely part of their trip!) in February, 1932, having covered 16,000 miles.
She then contested the Junior Car Club 1000 mile race at Brooklands, co-driving with Mrs Wisdom (Anne Wisdom?) in a Brooklands Riley and won the event at an average speed of 84.41mph, continued running other events at Brooklands and at times used Malcolm Campbell's 3-litre Ballot and equalled the 108mph lap this car had previously recorded with Dunfee at the wheel. She is said to have been disappointed not to have beaten the time.
She went on to contest the Monte Carlo Rally each year, with Kay Petre in 1933, and with a factory Triumph in 1936, in which she won second prize in the light car class.
She competed at Shelsley Walsh mostly driving the Fuzzi Special, a car with two engines and four pedals (!) for the driver to master, with a best time of 44 seconds, said to be a little faster than the owner could master.
This car would be interesting, Blanden records that it had to be driven barefoot because of the need to feel the pedals.
She drove an Aston Martin in the last Ulster TT, but was in trouble throughout with oil loss, apparentely, but finished in the time alloted despite several pit stops.
Donington also saw her, a supercharged Triumph and an HRD being her mounts there, and at Crystal Palace she drove a 1.5-litre Frazer Nash, and is said to have lapped as fast as A P Fane in a 2-litre works car.
She returned to Australia shortly after the second world war. The story ends there...

What about Odette Siko ?
She is in the Godlden book of LeMans for year 1932 at a very good ranking : isn't the best result for a woman in this race ? :
4th : Odette Siko-"Jean Sabipa" (Louis Charaval), 2417kms on an Alfa-Romeo 6C 1750 . Winner of her class (1500-2000).
The same team with the same car did not finish in 1933.
Miss Hellé-Nice was also at the start but didn't finish (accident), classified 16th but with only 25 laps (337kms). Her co-pilot was "Heldé" (Pierre-Louis Dreyfus) on an Alfa-Romeo 8C 2300.
In 1933, the same car was entered by Miss Hellé-Nice for Guy Moll but didn't finish (~1000 kms) and JP Wimille was DNS on a Bugatti with another lady, Mme Mareuse ?
In 1934, another good performance by a 100% "féminine" (I prefer to female ) english team on a small Riley, 13th with 2327 kms : Miss Dorothy Champney, GB and Mrs Kaye Petre, CDN/GB.
1935 saw a "pléiade" of english ladies on MG Midget PA finishing completely grouped :
24th : Miss Joan Richmond, AUS-Mrs Gordon Simpson, GB 2077kms
25th : Miss Doreen Evans, GB-Miss B Skinner, GB 2068kms
26th : Miss Margaret Allan, GB-Mrs Hugh Eaton, GB 2054kms
Same entrant for the three cars : George E.T. Eyston, GB

Not long ago David Greenhalgh wrote about him as an Australian in Motor Racing Australia magazine. It was the first I'd ever heard of him mentioned as Australian and I wondered where David had read it.
This is only the second time I have seen reference to him as an Aussie and this might be where David saw it.
I wonder did they have him confused with Bernard Rubin?
I have many books relating to Bentleys, Le Mans, and Bentley drivers and I don't remember ever reading about him being Australian. If he is I would like to know about it.

He didn't "return to Australia" after his last Le Mans, but spent at least one season on the US board tracks. Didn't disgrace himself either.

"The information about John Duff being Australian is from British Magazine "Motor Sport", but I don't think this is right! They have also referred to him as being a Canadian in that magazine! It was not long ago I read it, I do not remember in which issue, but I think it was last year (2000). Most probably, he is english.
This has to be sorted out..."
And also find this stuff from http://www.autoweb.c...91/article.html :
"W. O. Bentley was present for the first Le Mans race in 1923, with a single three-litre belonging to sales agent John F. Duff, who had previously established a British 'Double Twelve Hour' record at Brooklands driving alone for two twelve-hour daylight stretches with the same car. Bentley thought it very risky to try a 24-hour race, but was persuaded to prepare Duff's car and even loaned Bentley Motors employee Frank Clement to serve as co-driver."
About the Bentley's boys :
Woolf Barnato (whom W.O. Bentley described as his best driver) was South African, while Jean Chassagne was an accomplished French racing driver. But most of the 'Boys' were British.
The Earl Howe, the Baron d'Erlanger and Sir Henry R. S. 'Tim' Birkin were part of British aristocracy. S. C. H. 'Sammy' Davis was a journalist with The Autocar,
Frank C. 'Jack' Clement an employee of Bentley Motors, and the brothers Clive and Jack Dunfee were mechanics who had to stretch their resources to the limit to afford Bentley racing cars. Doctor J. D. 'Benjy' Benjafield was a respected and fashionable Harley Street physician, John H. Duff - the first to take Bentley to Le Mans, and thus perhaps the first Bentley Boy - was a motor trader, while Glen Kidston, Bernard Rubin, H. Kensington Moir, Clive Gallop and other favoured Bentley drivers were what was then commonly called 'sportsmen.'
Another french site on LeMans explicitly reports Franck Clement as french, which isn't an evidence
All this looks like as a convergence to some common source : Australian ? Canadian ?
Concerning Yvonne Simon, there is one pointer to Yvette Simon on the web, refering most likely to the same person : same car ?
to be compared to previous pointer :

Gwenda, daughter of Sir Frederick Manley Gubb, the famous soldier, drove ambulances on the Russian and Rumanian fronts in WW1 and was decorated with the Crosses of ST George and St Stanilaus.
It is said that in her youth she trekked alone in the northern wilds of Canada and that she wore her hair in a "mannish" cut and disguised her femininity.
As Mrs Janson she competed in motorcycle events at Brooklands using a Ner-a-car and a Trump-Jap.
Later she married Colonel Stewart and co drove with him in long distance events.
In 1937 she married Douglas Hawkes, who had a share in the Paris based Derby factory.
She had an impressive record on banked tracks but fared less well on the circuits
2. A lot of the material written about lady racers is promotional guff and they have often been "manipulated" by the promoters of race event to generate publicity.
3. An interesting story about lady race drivers ...
Paul Hawkins, who apparently was the son of a Protestant minister!!! (Hard to believe)was leading the 1968 Sebring 12 hour in his GT40 after 8 hours of racing. A win would have been really great for the privateer and "opened" doors for the talented, tough Australian.
Then he collided with a Porsche which had swereved to aviod a Javelin driven by Liane Engeman/Janet Guthrie.
Hawkeye, not amused, said something like this :
"It wasn't the Porsche fault. It was those @#$%&% girls. They drove as though they were going to a ..censored..blankety-blant..funeral. The place for a woman is the #@%$* kitchen. When shes not in the $#%@^&% kitchen she should be tending the -@#$%@!* cradle. When shes not doing that she should be in bed."
3. Of all the lady racers the exploits of Elisabetta Junek are to me the most impressive.

Good ideas here: The silky leaves and sweet, mild stems make a beautiful, quick salad with a counterpoint of the crumbly, salty Mexican cheese.
A Y-shaped peeler will work best for this recipe. Adapted from 'Root to Stalk Cooking: The Art of Using the Whole Vegetable,' by Tara Duggan (Ten Speed Press, 2013).
2 servings Leaves and thick stalks from 1 bunch broccoli, stalks cut into batons (about 3 stalks or 10 to 12 ounces; see NOTE)1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (about 1 ounce) crumbled cotija cheese (may substitute feta)
Place the broccoli stalk batons on a cutting board. Use a vegetable peeler to shave them into paper-thin strips, transferring them to a serving bowl as you work.
Tear any large leaves into bite-size pieces; add the leaves to the bowl, along with the oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste; toss to coat evenly, then gently fold in the cheese.
Serve right away. NOTE: To make broccoli batons, first remove the stalks at the base of the florets, then trim off the tough exterior of the stalks. Trim each stalk, rolling it on a flat side, to form a long, rectangular piece.
